Summary

Jonathan Edwards is one of America's
greatest philosophers and theologians, and his sermons and texts are
treasured pieces of American Puritan literature. He spent much of his
life as a missionary to Native Americans, and his dedication to the
faith has inspired generations of Christians. Edwards is known for both
his high intelligence and reasoning prowess, as well as for the raw and
tangible passion he expressed in his sermons. Known as a "fire and
brimstone" preacher, Edwards converted many 16th century Americans.
This collection of sermons includes his most famous, "Sinners in the
Hands of an Angry God," a powerful expression of God's power and
justice. This volume is an excellent starting point for those looking
for a diverse selection of Edwards' messages.
